The Color Project
by: Sierra Abrams
Summary:
Bernice Aurora Wescott has one thing she doesn't want anyone to know: her name. That is, until Bee meets Levi, the local golden boy who runs a charity organization called The Color Project.
Levi is not at all shy about attempting to guess Bee’s real name; his persistence is one of the many reasons why Bee falls for him. But while Levi is everything she never knew she needed, giving up her name would feel like a stamp on forever. And that terrifies her.
When unexpected news of an illness in the family drains Bee's summer of everything bright, she is pushed to the breaking point. Losing herself in The Color Project—a world of weddings, funerals, cancer patients, and hopeful families that the charity funds—is no longer enough. Bee must hold up the weight of her family, but to do that, she needs Levi. She’ll have to give up her name and let him in completely or lose the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
For fans of Stephanie Perkins and Morgan Matson, THE COLOR PROJECT is a story about the three great loves of life—family, friendship, and romance—and the bonds that withstand tragedy.

Until the day her secret letters are mailed, and suddenly, Lara Jean’s love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

Lara Jeans relationships with her sister are to die for cute! I can't wait to see what will happen when the letters are sent out! Also Lara Jeans dreamy eyed, naive thoughts are so fun to read! Cant wait to finish this!

Okay Im not going to lie, when I read the first book of this series The Thousandth Floor I was...
TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH IT!
This series is flat out amazing! I absolutely love the idea of a futuristic New York! Especially how everyone lives in an incredible tower that has amazing new tech gear! The characters are also totally swoon worthy and you will find yourself rooting for your favorite couples in no time. I mean Rylin is my favorite and I won't give away who she's with (But can I just say him and her together... magic!) and I'm am so excited to figure out what happens to her next! Avery is also interesting, though she can come off as petty some times. Leda can be just flat out annoying but their is something about her that's intriguing and she defiantly brings the drama! You will definitely fall in love with the diverse characters I can tell you that!
Expect tons of drama, upscale technology and a thrill building world in not only The Thousandth Floor but hopefully The Dazzlingly Heights! (fingers crossed)
